Composition and transcription

Tabular gives you everything you need to transcribe your favorite songs and compose new ones with a focus on stringed and percussion instruments. Using tablature, you can easily create beautifully-formatted notation for guitar, bass, banjo, drums and much more.

Flexible notation

Complex music is no problem. You have complete control over how your music is played with Tabular's large collection of notational features including legato, vibrato, bends, palm mutes and many more.

Your documents in the cloud

There's no need to worry about the hassle of meticulously managing your own files — Tabular will keep them neatly organized in a familiar, iTunes-like library. Documents will be synced to all of your devices with iCloud, so you can write some music in Tabular for Mac and then practice along with it on your iPad.

Real-time playback

You can listen to your music as you create it with Tabular's MIDI playback functionality. Tabular contains 53 different instrument sounds as well as basic mixing with volume, panning, mute and solo controls for each track.

Practice tools

Tabular's flexible practice tools allow you to master challenging songs and work on exercises. Set a tempo- or time-based goal for your practice session and the speed trainer will gradually increase the BPM at a rate of your choosing. Keep track of your progress with built-in practice logs so that you always know where you last left off.

Not just for guitar

With customizable tunings, Tabular supports just about any fretted, stringed instrument with 3 to 12 strings. It also has native support for real drum tablature — configure a track with a custom drum kit and each drum will get its own line in the score.

Sleek, modern interface

Built specifically for the Mac, our single-window interface is streamlined and free from cross-platform cruft. Keyboard shortcuts are consistent and easy to remember, and everything feels natural. Every aspect of the app was carefully designed from the ground up to be as easy to use as possible.
